I kept waiting to post this recipe after I got pictures of the end result.  But even by my standards the pictures were pretty bad.  So I am posting without pictures.  Growing up I thought the only way to serve sweet potatoes was candied.  As in Candied Yams for Thanksgiving, with tons of brown sugar, butter and marshmallows.  Then I grew up and realized you could eat them baked, like a regular potato.  But again, they always had brown sugar and butter on them.  This is a savory recipe - no brown sugar in site.  And I think the salt and garlic powder really compliment the sweet potato.  The original recipe called for pork but I make it with chicken.

Lay the sliced sweet potatoes in the bottom of the crockpot.  Pour the chicken broth over the potatoes.  Sprinkle with 1/2 the spices.  Lay the chicken pieces onto the sweet potatoes.  Sprinkle with the rest of the spices.  Cook on low 6-8 hours.
